Written in a practical and user–friendly style, this book aims to help the
reader understand cattle reproduction by explaining the underlying
physiology of the reproductive process and the role and importance of
pharmacology and technology, and showing how management techniques can
improve reproductive efficiency.Cattle play a fundamental role in animal
agriculture throughout the world. They not only provide us with a vital
food source, but they also provide us with fertilizer and fuel. Keeping
reproduction levels at an optimum level is therefore essential, but this is
often a complicated process, especially with modern, high yielding cows.
This edition includes:
- Recent research findings on the
physiology of the oestrous cycle and its control;
- New techniques for monitoring and
manipulating reproduction, including pregnancy diagnosis and embryo
transfer;
- Advice on identifying common infertility problems and how to prevent and treat them.
Reproduction Cattle 3e is essential reading for veterinary and agricultural students, as well as veterinarians and farmers involved in cattle reproduction.
